GeSe (Germanium Selenide)

GeSe Germanium Selenide GeSe is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap ~1.1 eV. The layers are stacked together via van der Waals interactions and can be exfoliated into thin 2D layers. Germanium Selenide belongs to the group-VI transition metal monochalcogenides. To buy GeSe crystals please click here.
